Overview
The Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Western University is a thesis-based research degree in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. The program admits candidates holding a Master's degree and covers six research fields: Biomaterials and Biochemical Engineering, Environmental and Green Engineering, Macromolecular and Materials Engineering, Particle Technology and Fluidization, Reaction and Process Systems Engineering, and Water and Energy. Full-time students complete the degree over 12 terms (four years); a flex-time option extends completion to 18-24 terms. The program centres on independent thesis research supervised by a faculty advisor, with students selecting courses that complement their research interests. Admission requires a Master's degree with a minimum 78% average in a four-year honours degree or equivalent from a recognized university or college, calculated on the last two years of the degree. Domestic applicants may apply for Fall, Winter, or Summer entry; international applicants face earlier deadlines for the same three intakes.
